This article by Meredith Melnick, “6 Common Sources of Radiation In Your Life,” highlights some of the most usual ways that the average person comes in contact with radiation.

One of the most interesting facts emphasized in this article surrounds the radiation exposure levels brought upon by hospital radiation testing. It was noted that some medical imaging procedures “can increase your risk of cancer by almost 1%, according to a radiological lab at the University of California, Davis.”
